Understanding the factors that affect university completion for autistic people / Eilidh CAGE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 72 (April 2020)
[article]
Titre : Understanding the factors that affect university completion for autistic people Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Eilidh CAGE, Auteur ; Maria DE ANDRES, Auteur ; Paige MAHONEY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101519 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Higher education Autistic students Non-completion Dropout Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autistic individuals may be less likely to complete their university studies, but there is no research to date that examines why this is the case. This study thus examined the factors that may affect university completion for autistic people. Method Two-hundred and thirty autistic people who had attended university completed an online survey, whereby 151 had graduated on their first attempt, 34 graduated after several attempts, and 45 had not completed. Participants answered questions regarding the transition to university, academic and social experiences, diagnosis, mental wellbeing and sensory sensitivities. Results Those who did not complete had a poorer academic experience, found the transition more difficult, and felt less organisational and social identification at university. Logistic regression suggested the transition to university is particularly important in predicting non-completion. Conclusions Finding the transition challenging and struggling with academic and social aspects may contribute to the risk of dropping-out. The study has implications for universities, who must ensure all autistic students are able to achieve their full academic potential by providing appropriate transition support, fostering a sense of community at university and ensuring staff are appropriately trained.
